I am a child of the world.

I don't belong to the country I was born to and yet I don't belong to the country that I have chosen.

I will forever be in a state of purgatory.

This is my fate.

The silver lining is that I grew to appreciate the unique upbringing I had.

To love and accept that people are imperfect but beautiful.

It has awoken a need in me to see how all humans live, to see this beautiful earth we inhabit.

To appreciate that all life matters, as we are all in this together in the end.

My favorite quote is “I have lived a thousand lives and I've loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read” by George R.R. Martin, I want my writing to one day effect people like that.
